Effect of Viscous Dissipation and Thermoporesis on the Flow Over an Exponentially Stretching Sheet

Abstract

This article analyses the influence of viscous dissipation and thermoporesis effects on the viscous fluid flow over a porous sheet stretching exponentially by applying convective boundary condition. The numerical solutions to the governing equations are evaluated using a local similarity and non-similarity approach along with a successive linearisation procedure and Chebyshev collocation method. The influence of the pertinent parameters on the physical quantities are displayed through graphs.
